The Prophet ﷺ performed Hajj with his wives. Along the way, a man came down and began driving their mounts forward, urging them to go faster. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Easy with your driving of the glass vessels," meaning the women.While they were traveling, the camel of Safiya bint Huyayy knelt down. She had one of the finest mounts among them, and she began to weep. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came when he was told of this, and he started wiping her tears with his hand, but she only wept more. He told her to stop, and when she persisted, he scolded and rebuked her. He ordered the people to dismount, so they dismounted, though he had not intended to stop there.She said, "They dismounted, and it was my day. When they dismounted, the Prophet's ﷺ tent was pitched, and he entered it. I did not know what had upset the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and I feared he held something against me. So I went to Ayesha and said to her, 'You know that I would never trade my day with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ for anything, but I am giving my day to you on the condition that you make the Messenger of Allah ﷺ pleased with me.'"Ayesha said, "Yes."Ayesha then took a head-cover of hers that she had soaked in saffron, sprinkled it with water to bring out its fragrance, put on her clothes, and went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. She lifted the edge of the tent.He said to her, "What is the matter, Ayesha? This is not your day."She replied, "That is the bounty of Allah, He gives it to whom He wills."So he was with her.When it was time to set off again, he said to Zaynab bint Jahsh, "Zaynab, lend your sister Safiya a camel," for Zaynab had the most mounts among them.She said, "Should I lend to your Jewess?"The Prophet ﷺ became angry when he heard this from her and avoided her. He did not speak to her until he reached Mecca and through the days of Mina on his journey, and until he returned to Medina, throughout Muharram and Safar. He did not come to her nor allot her a turn, and she had given up hope of him.When the month of Rabi Awwal came, he entered upon her. She saw his shadow and said, "This is the shadow of a man, but the Prophet ﷺ does not visit me. Who is this?"The Prophet ﷺ entered, and when she saw him she said, "Messenger of Allah, I do not know what to do now that you have come in to me." She had a slave girl whom she used to hide from the Prophet ﷺ, and she said, "So-and-so is yours."The Prophet ﷺ walked to Zaynab's bed, which had been raised up, set it down with his own hand, and then was with her, and he was pleased with them.
حدثنا عبد الرزاق قال حدثنا جعفر بن سليمان عن ثابت قال حدثتني شميسة أو سمية قال عبد الرزاق هو في كتابي سمية
أن النبي ﷺ حج بنسائه فلما كان في بعض الطريق نزل رجل فساق بهن فأسرع فقال النبي ﷺ كذاك سوقك بالقوارير يعني النساء فبينا هم يسيرون برك بصفية بنت حيي جملها وكانت من أحسنهن ظهرا فبكت وجاء رسول الله ﷺ حين أخبر بذلك فجعل يمسح دموعها بيده وجعلت تزداد بكاء وهو ينهاها فلما أكثرت زبرها وانتهرها وأمر الناس بالنزول فنزلوا ولم يكن يريد أن ينزل قالت فنزلوا وكان يومي فلما نزلوا ضرب خباء النبي ﷺ ودخل فيه قالت فلم أدر علام أهجم من رسول الله ﷺ وخشيت أن يكون في نفسه شيء مني فانطلقت إلى عائشة فقلت لها تعلمين أني لم أكن أبيع يومي من رسول الله ﷺ بشيء أبدا وإني قد وهبت يومي لك على أن ترضي رسول الله ﷺ عني قالت نعم قال فأخذت عائشة خمارا لها قد ثردته بزعفران فرشته بالماء ليذكي ريحه ثم لبست ثيابها ثم انطلقت إلى رسول الله ﷺ فرفعت طرف الخباء فقال لها ما لك يا عائشة إن هذا ليس بيومك قالت ذلك فضل الله يؤتيه من يشاء فقال مع أهله فلما كان عند الرواح قال لزينب بنت جحش يا زينب أفقري أختك صفية جملا وكانت من أكثرهن ظهرا فقالت أنا أفقر يهوديتك فغضب النبي ﷺ حين سمع ذلك منها فهجرها فلم يكلمها حتى قدم مكة وأيام منى في سفره حتى رجع إلى المدينة والمحرم وصفر فلم يأتها ولم يقسم لها ويئست منه فلما كان شهر ربيع الأول دخل عليها فرأت ظله فقالت إن هذا لظل رجل وما يدخل علي النبي ﷺ فمن هذا فدخل النبي ﷺ فلما رأته قالت يا رسول الله ما أدري ما أصنع حين دخلت علي قالت وكانت لها جارية وكانت تخبؤها من النبي ﷺ فقالت فلانة لك فمشى النبي ﷺ إلى سرير زينب وكان قد رفع فوضعه بيده ثم أصاب أهله ورضي عنهم
